THE FAI Women’s Cup final saw Raheny United claim a second crown on the spin against a battling Castlebar Celtic.

The holders seemed to be heading towards another trophy but the Mayo team twice pegged them back to force extra-time. Four minutes in, Celtic’s centre-back Kim Flood suffered the misfortune of diverting a Siobhan Killeen cross past her goalkeeper Caoimhe O’Reilly for the winner. Raheny’s midfielder Ciara Grant opened the scoring with a 37th minute volley. Castlebar drastically needed a revival and it was engineered by interval substitute Emma Mullin. She drew the westerners level on 68 minutes by finishing from eight yards.
